Since accounting is a major component of almost every industry, the
outlook for accounting careers is excellent. According to the U.S.
Department of Labor, the number of accounting jobs is expected to grow
by 12% through 2016. Accounting careers are diverse and financially
rewarding. Accounting professionals can work for major corporations,
financial institutions, medical facilities, retail stores, government
agencies or own and operate their own business. |
In addition
to students enrolling in a traditional path towards a degree in
accounting, many older adults are adding an extra skill set to their
resumes by taking classes such as Federal Taxation, where they gain
hands-on experience in tax preparation. Registration for fall semester
is in progress. SVCC can be the first step to a career in accounting.
